Steve our guide was so knowledgeable and took us to the best places to see marine life. We saw an eel, octopus, turtles and plenty of fish! Will do it again next time we come back :)

マンタ大学夜学部 野生のマンタ&ナイトシュノーケリングツアー <送迎可/日本語スタッフ乗船日あり>

No manta rays appeared. マンタ現れず

Reviewed by: kazuchann

The Japanese guide spoke brokenly and had difficulty communicating. The participants were just my spouse and another young woman who seemed to speak English well, so there didn't seem to be any issues there. However, even though we were in Hawaii, it wasn't warm after the sun set, and the manta rays didn't appear. We had to float in the water for a long time waiting, and the only item to warm our chilled bodies was a single blanket. There seemed to be hot cocoa available if you didn't get seasick, but I felt nauseous and couldn't accept it. I was invited to join again the next day for free since I couldn't see anything, but I declined. To be honest, I wanted a refund for the participation fee. I felt unwell throughout the trip and couldn't enjoy my meals, and planning the manta night at the beginning of the trip was a mistake. As a professional, they should have considered the sea conditions and the needs of older guests better. The guide was overly excited and it became awkward.

日本語ガイドは片言で会話も不自由、参加者は私たち夫婦ともう一人若い女性でその方は英語が話せるようで問題なさそうでしたが、うねりがあってハワイといっても日が沈むと暖かくはなくマンタが現れないので、海の中に長い時間漂って待、冷えきった身体を温めるアイテムもブランケット一枚。船酔いでなければホットココアがあったようですが、吐き気がして受け付けません。見る事ができなかったので翌日無料で参加できますと誘われたけど、断ってきました。はっきりって参加費返してもらいたいくらいでした。旅行中ずっとグワイが悪くて、食事も美味しく食べる事ができず旅行の最初にマンタナイトを計画したのが間違いでした。プロなんだから海の状況でマンタが現れないとか、高年齢のお客への配慮が足りない。ガイドだけが勝手にキャキャハイテンションでしらけてしまった。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are truly sorry that you were unable to have a satisfying experience despite choosing our service.

Regarding the tour you participated in, we hope you understand that the appearance rate of manta rays can vary depending on the conditions of the day. If you were unable to see them, we offer a complimentary invitation to join again. However, we are very disappointed that you felt unwell and as a result, could not enjoy the manta rays.

We will communicate your feedback regarding the service to the operating company and discuss improvements.

Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable experience with us.

It was fun! 楽しかった!

Reviewed by: chi

I participated in the half-day course. The leader was also Japanese and a very friendly and interesting person, so I had a great time. For those who wanted to go snorkeling, it was an option, and I was glad I participated because I got to see a lot of fish. The sandwiches were delicious! On the way back, I didn't change and wore my clothes for the long bus ride, so it was cold. I thought it would have been better if they had provided bath towels.

半日コースで参加しました。
リーダーの方も日本人でとても気さくな面白い人だったので楽しく過ごせました。
シュノケーリングもしたい人は参加とゆう形だったのですが、魚もたくさん見れて参加して良かったです。サンドイッチも美味しかった!帰りは着替えせずそのまま服を着て長時間のバスだったので寒かったです。バスタオルを用意してくれていたらもっと良かったなと思いました。

Did together with my son and had a blast. Make sure you are one of the first into the ocean when you start the snorkeling since the sea turtles will be scared away once the crowd hits. Managed to be third in and took 4K video of a huge turtle on the GoPro.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Relaxing day on the water

Reviewed by: JoZippinMaui

We woke up early and lined up at the harbor to check in for the cruise. The Captain and crew introduced themselves and explained the rules (three points of contact, breakfast and lunch will be served, dive with a buddy, and snorkeling gear will be provided). Once we boarded, the captain kept us apprised of where we were going, what we were seeing and how long it would take. At one point, we saw a group of whales. The Captain stopped the boat and explained that we were watching a mother whale and her new baby. We were also told that the two males following the mother were fighting for the attention of the mother. We then went on to snorkel in two spots. All gear was provided, including masks, snorkels and floating devices. A couple of crew members stayed in the water to watch the group and to point out interesting fish and turtle populations. Overall, it was a great morning and afternoon. And the food was good, too.

Reviewed by: umy

At first, I was a bit worried because it was cloudy, but it cleared up later and was really beautiful! There was a sea turtle that was very friendly with the staff and came really close to the boat; it was so cute!!

Recently, it seems that more people have been bothering sea turtles, and things have become stricter, which is unfortunate.

I thought snorkeling might be a little scary at first, but the moment I saw the underwater world, I completely forgot about my fears! You definitely should try it.

The staff were all fun, the scenery was amazing, and if I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again.

By the way, it gets really cold after snorkeling, so it's better to have a thick bath towel and other things. You can borrow a blanket, but I think it's best to bring something that can get wet.

最初ちょっと曇ってるかなぁと不安でしたが途中から晴れてきて、とっても綺麗でした!海亀も、スタッフの方にとても慣れている子がいて、船のすごく近くに来てくれて、すっごくかわいかったです!!
最近海亀にイタズラしたりする人が増えて色々厳しくなったりしているようで、残念です。
シュノーケルも、最初ちょっと怖いかも!って思ってましたが、海の中をみたし瞬間全然気にならなくなりました!
絶対やったほうがいいです。
スタッフの方々もみな楽しくて、景色も最高だし、また今度ハワイに行けたら、参加したいと思いました。

ちなみに、シュノーケルの後はとっても寒くなるので、厚手のバスタオルとか諸々あった方がいいです。ブランケットは借りられますが、濡らしてもいい物を持って行ったほうがいいと思います。

Awesome!

Reviewed by: CarolS

We had a fabulous time! The setting is largely responsible for this, but the people made it extra special. I liked that they had a separate English speaking catamaran. The staff on board were super friendly and very informative. Hamburgers were excellent. Ukelele entertainment was so nice and really added to the atmosphere. Thanks, Jenner! Sandbar was picturesque with the water oh, so warm! We saw LOTS of sea turtles. Snorkeling was great too. View of the coastline was amazing! Caution to the elderly: there is no air conditioning and bathrooms are difficult to access.

Reviewed by: えみりー

In a word, it was amazing! The area near the sandbar is a wonderful place that has been used for Hollywood movie shoots. The water is crystal clear and truly beautiful, and being able to anchor a boat there to go snorkeling, play volleyball, and watch sea turtles... such a precious experience is hard to come by. The hamburger lunch we had on the boat was also exceptional. The tour guides were all cheerful and friendly, making it a tour I would definitely want to join again. Even if you feel the tour is a bit pricey, it is absolutely worth the money. If you're unsure, I highly recommend it.

By the way, we were picked up around 9 AM at the Sheraton bus stop and rode the bus for about an hour (for some reason, we had to wait for a long time right after we started). After that, we headed for about 10 minutes by boat to reach the stunning sandbar. After enjoying some light snorkeling practice and volleyball at the sandbar, we moved to the next area (where we will watch sea turtles, and you can encounter so many of them!). We spent about an hour snorkeling over the coral reef (some areas are quite deep!). We dove from the boat and had fun playing with the tour guides as well. This snorkeling experience was a huge hit with my daughter and mother who joined me, and it became an unforgettable and precious experience. I now have more activities I want to participate in when I go to Hawaii!

一言で表すと最高!でした。
サンドバー付近はハリウッド映画のロケにも使用された素晴らしいエリアで、
海が透き通っていて本当に綺麗で、そんな場所に船を停めてシュノーケリングしたり、バレーしたりウミガメウォッチをしたり・・・あんな貴重な体験はなかなかできません。
船上で食べたハンバーガーランチもまた格別でした。
添乗員の方はみなさん陽気で気さくでまたぜひ参加したいと思えるツアーだと思います。
このツアーは少々高いと感じてもお金を払う価値は十分あります。
迷われているのならぜひともおすすめしたいです。
ちなみに、私たちは朝9時頃にシェラトンのバス停でピックアップしてもらい、バスで小一時間ほど揺られ(何故か出発してすぐの場所で長らく待機させられましたが・・・)そこから船で10分ほど向かった先に絶景のサンドバーが現れました。
サンドバーで軽くシュノーケリングの練習やバレーなどを楽しんだあと次のエリアに移動して(そこでウミガメウォッチをしますが、本当にたくさんのウミガメに出会えます!)
サンゴ礁の上を(深さのあるところはかなり深い)1時間ほどシュノーケリングして過ごします!
船からダイブしたりと、添乗員の方とも一緒になって遊んだり楽しみますww
このシュノーケリングが一緒に参加した娘や母にも大好評で忘れられない貴重な体験になったようです。
ハワイに行ったら必ず参加させてもらいたいアクティビティが増えました!!

  • 透き通った海の中にウミガメの姿が・・・

  • 雰囲気がそう思わせたのか絶品だったハンバーガーww

It was amazing even in the pouring rain! 土砂降りでも、最高でした!

Reviewed by: パパさん

It was cloudy at Sandbar, but when the sun peeked through the clouds, the cerulean blue sea looked absolutely beautiful. Truly stunning! The cloudy weather kept the sea temperature down, making it a bit chilly. Later, while having lunch with burgers, it started pouring rain, and I was shivering from the cold. After finishing my meal, I moved to see the sea turtles in the rain. I was thrilled to see many sea turtles and several manta rays at the same time! When we moved on to go snorkeling, I encountered a sea turtle swimming leisurely right in front of me! It was quite cold, but our guide, Gene, provided interesting commentary, making it the best tour where I could fully enjoy both the sea turtles and manta rays!

サンドバーでは曇りでしたが、雲の切れ間から日がさすと、セルリアンブルーの海がとても綺麗でした。本当に美しい!曇りで海水温が上がらず、少し冷たかったです。その後、お昼のバーガーを食べる時に土砂降りになり、寒さで震えました。食べ終わって雨の中、ウミガメを見に移動。たくさんのウミガメと同時に、何匹ものマンタを見ることが出来て大興奮でした。また移動してシュノーケリングに潜ると目の前にウミガメがゆったりと泳いでいるのに遭遇!大分と寒かったですが、ガイドのジーンさんの解説も面白く、ウミガメもマンタも満喫できた最高のツアーでした!

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Lanai Snorkeling Trip with my wife and kids

Reviewed by: BGalindo

First thing, the boat Captain Lilly and her crew of Cody, Robby, and Robin made us really feel like we were part of there family. They were very attentive to everyone. On the trip besides my wife were our 3 children ages 13, 11, & 7. As we left the harbor and headed out on our very spacious boat, we had some breakfast treats and were fortunate enough to see some whales on the way to Lanai too. As we got halfway across the Bay, Mother nature provided a little wind but the Captain and crew took us to Sweetheart Rock which was very calm and beautiful. After we spent an hour or so there, we headed off to another location and were greeted by a pod of spinner dolphins. That was a great treat as the boat allowed for easy viewing, and as a matter of fact, you felt like you could reach in the water and touch them. As we cruised back to Lahaina we again came upon some more whales, this was truly a magical experience seeing these giant animals up so close. Our final snorkeling spot was just outside of the harbor and we we entered the water, the kids were able swim along with the turtles. The kids were blown away as this was there very first trip the islands and there very first snorkeling trip. As we anchored down, we had had a very nice lunch and plenty of sun and scenery to take in. As we enjoyed the experience, one of the boat engine had trouble so we had to wait for a mechanic to check it out. That was really a blessing, as we had extra time to snorkel and soak in the views. The entire family was actually happy to have the delay as we got some spend extra time on the boat and in the water....We could have stayed all day. The next time we are back Maui, we are going to do it all over again....

Reviewed by: a.m

During the bus ride, they talked about various things related to Hawaii, so I wasn't bored at all. I only saw a few dolphins, but it was still quite fun. We moved by boat in search of dolphins → spotted dolphins and jumped into the sea → chased and swam after the dolphins!! → moved by boat again → jumped into the sea and swam!! It was quite physically demanding with all that repetition.

バスの移動中から色々とハワイのことをお話してくださったりして退屈しませんでした。イルカはボチボチくらいしか見れませんでしたけど、まぁまぁ楽しかったです。船でイルカを求めて移動→イルカ発見で海へ→ひたすらイルカを追いかけ泳ぐ!!→また船で移動→海へ飛び込み泳ぐ!!の繰り返しで結構、体力的にしんどいです。

Sea turtles are so cute!! ウミガメかわいい!!

Reviewed by: まりるら

I experienced it on April 2nd. It was disappointing that the water level at the sandbar rose to knee height and there was no sandy area, but I was amazed by the gradient of the ocean's color! During the sea turtle watching, I was able to see several turtles from a distance. We went snorkeling around a large coral table, but in some areas, there were only a few fish. When we moved, we encountered many fish, and two sea turtles appeared, swimming so close that we could almost touch them! They were incredibly cute, and quite big! If I followed them, it felt like they would take me to the Dragon Palace. There are also turtles resting under the coral, so it's worth looking closely for them! The burgers grilled on the boat were big and delicious! The staff were fun, and I was really glad to have taken this tour.

4/2に体験してきました。サンドバーではひざ下まで水位が上がって砂地がなかったのが残念でしたが、海の色のグラデーションに感動!ウミガメウォッチングでは少し離れて何匹も見れました。シュノーケリングは大きな珊瑚テーブルのまわりでしましたが、場所によっては魚が数匹しかおらず、移動してるとたくさんの魚と、そしてウミガメも二匹現れ触れるほどの近くで一緒に並んで泳ぎました!!
と~~ってもかわいかった、しかもbigサイズ!ついて行ったら竜宮城に連れて行かれそう。
珊瑚の下のほうで止まって休憩しているカメさんもいるので、よく探してみるといいですよ!
船で焼いてくれるバーガーもbigで美味しかった!スタッフも楽しい方たちで、このツアーで良かったです。

It was unfortunately a slightly chilly and cloudy day. We took a shuttle van to the marina where the boats were. We split into two boats and headed out a bit to search for turtles. After that, we took some photos at the sandbar, but unfortunately, due to the weather, it didn't match the image of the bright white sandy beach I had in mind. However, during the snorkeling, we were able to see coral and turtles up close. I definitely want to participate again in the summer.

Four Winds Deluxe Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Taco Bar Lunch & Drinks

Disappointing

Reviewed by: Jerry

Advertised as a catamaran, may have been in the truest sense...but not a sail or mast on the boat. Unable to go to Molokini due to high seas(6' swells), took us to a site a mile away from the harbor.

I understand the reasoning for not going to the atoll, however, a chance to get off the ship and get a refund were never offered.

All was not lost, hence the reason for not demanding a refund or a rescheduling, the crew was attentive, polite, and amusing. The relocation for snorkeling was quite nice with some beautiful fish.

Ultimately, I would not book again...sorry.

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Island Magic Canyon Snorkel Sail/Waikiki Beach

Reviewed by: Washington family

The 4 of us had a great time! We have 2 14 year old boys with us. They saw turtles, large ones, fish, etc. The guys on the catamaran were really nice; a really fun cruise. My son wants to go again; we'll see.

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

Heaven and Hell 天国と地獄

Reviewed by: Rieko

I participated with my sixth-grade daughter at the end of March. The staff were fun and really nice, and the lunch they prepared on the boat was delicious. Yukiko took the best family photos for us.

Even though it was my first time snorkeling, thanks to the life jacket and fins, I was able to enjoy it despite not being a strong swimmer. Swimming with the fish and sea turtles was amazing.

From the boat, we were also able to see the rare manta ray cyclone.

However, it was really cold! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with strong winds. My wet body from practicing snorkeling at the sandbar got colder and colder on the boat, and even with a towel wrapped around me and a jacket on, I couldn't stop shivering. I wanted to do more snorkeling, but it was too cold, so we cut it short. My daughter ended up with a high fever at night, and we had to rush to the ER, experiencing both heaven and hell.

Even though it was hot in Waikiki, the temperature around the sandbar was quite different, so don't let your guard down.

When the weather is bad, I recommend not getting wet until the actual snorkeling and making sure to bring dry clothes. It might not be necessary if it's hot, but staying wet will continue to sap your body heat even on the bus ride back.

As an additional note, definitely get overseas insurance, and if symptoms are severe (especially for children), let's take them to the ER instead of using Doctor on Call (the worst!).

3/末に小6の娘と一緒に参加しました。スタッフは楽しくてとっても良い人たちだし、船上で作ってくれるランチはおいしかった。ユキコさんが最高の家族写真を撮ってくれました。
初めてのシュノーケリングでも、ライフジャケットとフィンのおかげで、泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました。魚やウミガメと一緒に泳げたのは最高です。
船上からは、珍しいマンタサイクロンも見ることができました。

が、とにかく寒かった!あいにくの曇天と強風。サンドバーでシュノーケリングの練習のため濡れた体が、風をうける船上でどんどんひえて、タオルを巻いても上着を着ても震えがとまらず、本番のシュノーケリングも、もっとしたかったけど寒くて途中で切り上げました。
娘が夜高熱をだして、ERに駆け込む羽目になり、天国と地獄、両方の気分を味わいました。
ワイキキは暑くてもサンドバーの辺りは気温がだいぶ違ったので、油断しないこと。

天気が悪い時は、本番までは体を濡らさないことと、乾いた着替えはちゃんと持つことを勧めます。暑ければ不要なんでしょうが、濡れたままだと帰りのバスでもどんどん体温奪われます。
さらに余談ですが海外保険は絶対入っておくことと、症状が重い時は(特に子供)ドクターオンコール(最悪!)ではなくERにつれていきましょう。

Sandbar サンドバー

Reviewed by: リリコイ

It was a tour I had wanted to try for a long time. The sandbar was underwater, but a large sea turtle welcomed us. We were able to enjoy paddle surfing and snorkeling, and had a great time. The illustration of the shuttle bus is really cute!

以前から行ってみたいと思っていたツアーでした。サンドバーは海の下でしたが、大きなウミガメが歓迎してくれました。パドルサーフィンやシュノーケリングもでき、楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました。送迎のバスのイラストがとってもかわいいです!

A wonderful encounter... I'm so moved!! And grateful⭐ 最高の出会いに…感激!! そして、感謝⭐

Reviewed by: TANI

One of the things I want to try in Hawaii!
I highly recommend it to everyone!

It's been decades since I last went into the ocean (laughs). No need to worry, it's all good.
Even if you can't swim well, they will guide you to the points.
Thanks to the attentive care of the staff, I was able to meet the dolphins.

It seems that there was a massive occurrence that day (is that the right expression?)...
Daisuke and the staff said, "Don't expect to see this many dolphins all the time. It's a rare day when this happens a few times a year!"
It was a series of great excitement.
I was thrilled to see the dolphins dancing and even flying above the water's surface (about 2 meters away)!
I wished I could swim freely.
I was also able to hear the dolphins' calls.

Thank you, Daisuke, YUKO, and all the staff for this wonderful encounter.
Thank you very much! m(__)m

ハワイ島でやってみたい事のひとつ!!
皆さんにお薦めのひとつ!

海の中に入るなんて何十年ぶり(笑) ご心配ありません。大丈夫です。
上手く泳げなくても、手を引いてポイントに連れて行ってくださいます。
スタッフの方々の細やかな気遣いに助けられ、イルカちゃん達に 出会えました。

どうやら、この日は大量発生(表現がおかしい?)だったようで…
ダイスケさんをはじめスタッフの方は「いつもこんなにたくさん出会えると思わないで。年に数回の大量の日ですよ」
と、言っていたほど !! 大興奮の連続。
イルカのダンスも、、水面を飛んでる姿(2m位の至近距離)も見ることが出来 感激!!
自分が自由に泳げたら と 思いました。
イルカちゃん達の鳴き声も聞くことができました。

ダイスケさん、YUKOさん、スタッフの皆さん 素敵な出会いに感謝いたします。
ありがとうございましたm(__)m

A large number of dolphins and dancing is really lucky!
Next time, if you practice swimming a bit, you'll enjoy it even more.
All of our staff are looking forward to seeing you.
Aloha.

イルカ大量発生、そしてダンス、すごいラッキーですよ。

Molokini and Turtle Town Snorkel Cruise with Food & Open Bar - Pride of Maui

Molokini Snorkel

Reviewed by: Maui girl

Felt like I was on a cattle boat. Too many people. Hard time seeing anything. The whole time I was wishing I had researched better and booked on a smaller more intimate boat. Hardly any fish at Molokini then went to rocks south of Wailea and saw much more, but had just been there the day before on our own.

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

The crew was awesome.

Reviewed by: Telma Chicas

As we walked up to the harbor the staff was friendly and guided us in the right direction (since there's several different boats departing near each other) Right from the start the captain was very friendly. She introduced herself as well as her staff. As you get on the boat the captain explains to you what stops we will be making and exactly where we will be snorkeling. Unfortunately for us the first stop (right in front of lanai) was too windy so we had to go straight to our second stop. On our way there we saw a baby humpback whale with her mama whale. We stayed at our snorkeling spot for about half an hour to 45 minutes. We saw plenty of fish but unfortunately there were no turtles. Either way the view was very beautiful. On our way back to maui (from lanai) we drove right next to a pod of dolphins and that was probably the highlight of the trip for me. It was amazing seeing all the Dolphins jump out of water and they were very close to us!!! . As we saw the Dolphins and the whales, the captain would give us some info about them and she was very informative. The crew was helpful with making sure everybody was comfortable. They cook hot dogs and hamburgers for lunch and it was pretty yummy. It's a little bit hard to walk on the boat so the crew helped us take our food to the table, they walk around to pick up the trash, they hand out snorkel gear for those who need it, and the captain instructs us on how to dive in and where to snorkel. They also passed out some cookies after everyone ate and those cookies were delicious. They also offered complimentary beer or cocktails for those of age. Overall it was an awesome experience with awesome people. I would definitely recommend it. Some of the people got a little sea sick so I definitely recommend taking something before getting on the boat for those who have sensitive tummies.
